View Full Version : Site Map for users - html instead of xml?

I want a site map for my users.

I have the xml sitemap set up for search engines, but it does no good for my users to find their way around. Also have the 'Archives' link which is a decent sitemap of just the forums. But, evidently vBulletin's "integrated" cms, forums, and blogs, doesn't have an "integrated" sitemap for forum users. Fabulous.

So now I'm looking for some sort of plug-in or hack that will create a usable sitemap that I can have easily accessible from my navbar for all users. I searched the forums and didn't find anything for 4.0.3 that remotely looks like what I want.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Site details: running vB 4.0.3, no mods added so far, using the default theme. (boring I know, but trying to avoid additional issues to deal with so I'm trying to go SIMPLE)

Thanks.

Yes, if that includes cms and forums, then something just like that!

No CMS, just forums. I haven't played with the CMS stuff yet.

Thanks for the link, that's perfect.

close to perfect. The html sitemap that it generates is actually redundant (same pages listed multiple times) and it doesn't include blogs. So looked like just what I needed for a minute.

So back to original request, anyone up for building me a custom mod that will create a content specific sitemap generator in html? By content specific I mean: I can give a list of the parameters to include and the ones to leave out so that the links aren't repeated.

And if so, how much will it cost?

The one I did will shows all forums that the user is allow to see from the forumhome. So, if the CMS stuff is visible to them on the forumhime, then it should be visible to then in the sitemap. It uses permissions.

CMS stuff is totally different, Bob. Different tables and everything. So, I don't know that your's will cover that.

Yes, I have that on my archive (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/archive/index.php) button already.

The CMS stuff isn't visible from the forumhome. Besides the "latest post" cross over between the two, there isn't any linking between the two. This is part of the problem and why I need a comprehensive Site Map. VB is set up so that they are 2 different sites connected and formatted the same: different menus, different sidebars, and no indexing correlation between the 2. I.E. you can't 'see' what is listed on the CMS from the forum, and you can't see what is listed on the forum from the CMS.
